How can we keep track of all these names?
I keep searching and running across names over and over and reading former posts where someone says, they seem to recall a former post mentioning something and then if they go to search they can find posts to that surname…..
just call me confused……
within just the new kent co va robert allen b 1675 and elizabeth walker b c 1675..I have been searching their descendants of which i am one, and finding all sorts of connections…daughter susannah allen married hutchens Burton b 1694 in henrico co va..they are parents of robert burton on the granville co 1771 free persons of color i posted prior…grandaughter Hannah married groves howard also on list..Thomas Butler on this list…b 1724..grandson John I butler born in granville married mary polly hunt daught of memucan hunt..Memucan’s sister sarah married joseph allen…I have found two daughters of Robert Allen II maried to Hudson brothers descendants of william brother Cutbird (Cuthbert) also on this list..
Problem is just this family of Allen’s is huge…
there is a Lewis Collins on that FPC list and a lewis collins
married Martha allen daughter of Robert Allen III in Richmond co Ga jan 2 1799.
Osborn Jeffreys mentioned often in records, daughter Mary Jeffreys married John hunt son of Memucan and Mary…
Could we start a thread of the very earliest known ancestors to refer to if people work their way back that far?
william hunt allen and Drury Allen sons of Robert and Eliz bought land in Granville coin 1758 from William Gowan..Lots of connections but how can we best connect them all?

Will of Henry Hunt, probated March 5, 1750 (old style calendar), Granville Co., NC, mentions kids names (not Memucan/Memican, tho that is probably a middle name). Do you have that Will detail?
I also have the book “Granville Co., NC marriages, 1753 – 1868” and “History & Genealogies of Old Granville Co., NC, 1746-1800”.
Your “Howard” ‘s are the earlier “HOARD” and “HORD”.

bill,
I do have the info on Memucan Hunt’s will of 23 feb. 1808 proven nov. 1808. Granville co will bood 7, pp. 1,2.3….
Henry Hunt??? I’m not sure how he fits in…
Memucan born in Lunenburg co va 1729…All children born in Granville co nc. He died in Granville co. Did not find him on any tax lists or the 1790 census for Granville.. Why?? I don’t know…
He and Henry may be connected…I show father of Memucan as Ralph Hunt and mother Dinah Anderson but I have no further info on her….
Thanks. sue j
I spent half of last night and most of today, “recovering” my PC which crashed last night when I turned it on 🙂 and trying to reload the non-plug & play stuff – what a mind bender. That hasn’t happened for 3 and a half years, so guess I was due!
I attemted to make sense of this Henry Hunt’s Will of 1750 and subsequent Quarterly Court Sessions records, but had to erase ’em. I really am brain-drained about now. I’ll try to get it posted soon. There are a lot of HOWARD/HOARD, HUNT, ALLEN, HENDERSON, et.al., and many of the surnames you mentioned, in the two books I mentioned.
Bill
So, does that mean you did find Memucan HUNT on the 1800 Granville Co., NC census?
pg.542:
Memucan Hunt = 00201 – 10011 – 0 – 29.
…………….
1771 Granville Co Tax List: Memican Hunt.
Other Hunt’s on same tax list:
Christr.
James
John (marr’d Frances Penn, 5 Aug 1771
Mourning (same as marr’d Wm. Hicks 27 May 1778?)
William
……………..
Compare to Henry Hunt’s Will probated March 5, 1750/1:
mentions wife, Agnes
son, James
dau, Elisabeth
son, Henry
son, William
son, George
son, John
Exec’s: wife and son James.
Wit: John Massey, Wm. Hunt, Thomas Hunt and John Ed. Homes (sic).
…………….
Additional info:
Guardian Bonds
March 4, 1756. James Hunt, gd’n of Henry, son of Henry Hunt dec’d. (next entry looks like James also made gd’n of William, son of Henry Hunt, dec’d.) (Agnes has probably died, necessitating guardianships for the minor children of Henry and Agnes.)
March 7, 1758. Acc’t ret. to ct. by James Hunt, gd’n of William and Henry Hunt.
Feb 17, 1764. Thomas Cook, gd’n of John, orph. of Henry Hunt, dec’d. Sur: Thomas Smith, James Hunt.

Bill,
That is a brain drain. Sorry to hear that happened to your PC.
Memucan Hunt had a brother Henry born about 1737?
Otherwise I don’t know about Henry. My direct ancestor Memucan Hunt Allen who died in Ky in 1833 was son of Sarah Hunt Allen sister to Memucan Hunt married to Joseph Allen. (new kent co va)
It is nice to have an unusual name to connect to people..easier than Henry!

Bill,
You must have replied to me when I was replying to your previous message.
I am lost as I don’t know who Henry is. And I never had the 1800 census for Granville.
I can believe they are all related but as to how I am confused.
Thanks for all you do in searching for all of us on this forum! I appreciated your help.

Bill,
If you can get to it, on rootsweb freepages is the Hunt Archives..I originally found it with the ~tompkins/ at the freepages. but I tried to post on earlier date this site and it did not work. This shows the will of Henry, memucan, John (son of Mem. showing Mary as his last wife, Mary Jeffreys) and Mourning Hicks you mentioned and ?now I forget who else. There is a lot of info there and a picture of the grandson of Memucan Hunt also Memucan.
Do you have Hunt’s too in your ancestors?
Sue:)
Bill,
Here is where I found that site. Rootsweb freepages websites…
Hunt by tompkins…
There is a lot of info here incl Henry Hunt’s will, Memucan’s, etc. and just a lot.!!
I am leaving tomorrow on vacation for 5-6 days, probably will not have access to any computer.
I am only addressing you personally only because you are the only one responding to this thread…but maybe someone else will get something out of it too.
